i’ve been so busy after the nywc that i haven’t had a chance to write a thoughtful post. at this point, i think i’ll wait until after thanksgiving. but that shouldn’t stop us from having a little caption fun!
yup, i grabbed this from the fail blog (and cropped it). but it was just crying out to me: “please, marko, make me into a photo in need of a caption!”
far be it from me to deny such a desperate cry.
CONTENDERS…
ah, thanksgiving week (or maybe just a photo that doesn’t elicit as many responses)… not a lot to pick from yet. but here are the few that rose to the top like little dots of turkey grease in my homemade gravy:
Matt
“Behold I stand at the door and knock… what gives?” (God’s rarely seen letter to the church in Springfield.)
marko: wait… matt… were these two captions, or one? i think i like the 2nd half better if i think of it as a caption by itself.
Tim
When someone suggested that First Church make visitor-friendly signs for its exterior doors on the east side of the building, it was a long, difficult road, but after 8 intense trustee meetings, 3 deacon meetings, 4 elder meetings, 2 church splits, and a new pastor, First Church is ready to face its next major church decision.
marko: that’s some funny stuff right there. gonna be tough to beat.
Scott
“Please disregard this message if you do not know how to read.”
and the winner is…
matt’s revelation-like reference was a very close contender; but i’m gonna give it to tim’s long-winded, convoluted mess. really, it’s just too close to the kind of reality that could create a sign like this. :)
tim, i raise a leftover turkey leg in your honor!
A caption in need of a photo.
it was at this point they realized the secretary mrs.mertz should probably retire.
“Behold I stand at the door and knock… what gives?”
God’s rarely seen letter to the church in Springfield.
The staff found that running a church in the post-resurrection period, when everyone bodies that could walk through walls, was more difficult than they had first anticipated.

Hey Bob, there has to be a doorbell around here somewhere.
Proof that it’s time to evaluate the “everyone gets a key after membership class” policy.
Proof that when former youth director’s who’ve watched “Dumb and Dumber” too many times have basic cognitive skill issues later in life as Pastors.

Take THAT Matthew 7:7!
“That ought to do it…” thought the lazy locksmith, unwilling to remove his broken key from the side door lock.
Judges 3:24: behind the scenes.
If you think this is bad, you ought to see their mission statement. Yikes!
“Behold! I stand at the door and knock…crap. I guess I should have called first…”
Missional fail!
…but leaving is just fine!
Use the window instead.
Wouldn’t you know it, we’ve lost the key.
Those people at “Church of the Open Door” are such hypocrites!
Whichever way gets me closer to winning!
“Please disregard this message if you do not know how to read.”
after being interrupted many times in the bathroom, the pastor thought this sign was necessary
CONTEST CLOSED
see winner at bottom of post
I concede victory… Tim’s post did awfully close to home. Good job and Happy Leftover Day!
Thanks, guys! This was fun!
